TRAINING:

Back to deadlifts! I haven't done a conventional stance deadlift in over 3 years. I've done plenty of trapbar deads and sumo stance deadlifts, but I switched from conventional to sumo a long time ago and never went back. This should do something because it feels like doing deadlifts for the first time.

I am following Wendler's 5-3-1, and it starts out really light. These weights are about 100lbs less than working sets would have been a few months back with sumos, but I am really getting the feeling of the muscle activation and I know I will make some serious gains here.

I also dared to do a few swings today with a decent sized kettlebell, as an assistance lift to the deadlift. This is going to be a fun project.
